God's Provision

So I wanted to share with you a blessing that our family received today. This isn't done in a bragging manner towards us OR the people who shared the blessing. The only thing I have to boast in is GOD and His love for me and my family. Thank you for allowing me to indulge in this moment.

Today our family was the recipient of a tremendous blessing. An envelope full of cash, gift cards and money orders. It seems that our need was made known to a local church and we were the anonymous recipient of God's blessing and provision through these people. The neatest part of all of this is that this church has been praying for us, not even knowing who we were, for the last month. All they knew were the details...father works, mom stays at home with three kids, financial strain, special need child, battling depression. To be frank I'm not exactly what all was shared and it doesn't matter because obviously it was EXACTLY what God wanted to be shared. I was blown AWAY!!! One of the pastors and his wife of this church came by today to present us with the gift and to pray for and encourage our family.

God is an amazing God. He is faithful and loving and His hand of provision is always timely. Thank you Lord for you love!!!

Keep praying, keep believing, keep sharing. People can't help you if you don't express your needs. I made a need known. I didn't know who was listening, but God did!!!
